In the discussion of problems creat ed by the advent of the passenger- carrying motor vehicles in and around Los Angeles (see Sunset Magazine for January, page 47), it was predicted thit the "jitney bus" and its problems ould before long ride triumphantly up and down the full length of the Pacific Coast Now the prediction has come true. From Seattle to San diego the papers in cities large and small are filled with almost hysterical discussions of the new transportation problem, city councils are wrestling ith it, public utility commissions. courts and legislatures are gravely pondering over . the various aspects. Not a few managers, employes and bondholders of street car companies profess to be scared about the jitney bus' effect upon their earnings. .That the effect of the jitney on the income of the electric transportation concerns is not at all slight is shown by the estimate of at least $60,000 a month loss of revenue, to the Los An geleJ Railway company; a company operating a small line connecting two small towns In California reported to he railroad commission that jitney bus competition 1iad cut its earnings below the bond interest charges; in Oakland delegations of motormen and conductors requested the city council to regulate the new carriers; in Seat tle the advent of the jilney bus caused the city council to turn down several proposed bond issue for the exten-l sion of the embryonic municipal car system and for ;Iie acquisition of nc lines. In San Francisco the jitney 19 bus owners significantly promised to give the. inunU ipal c.:r lines a wide berth and a clear field. 1 ne acr tion that the trolly companies of the Pacific Coast have seen their earnings shrink by $8,000 a day since the ad vent of the jitney bus is not at all ex aggerated. But the jitney business, despite its mushroon growth, will neither kill the street car companies nor will it crip ple them, for the simple 'reason thai the average jitney bus as nt present conducted docs not pay. The fact of the matter is that tour ing cars are not built to provide the owner with revenue. It is almost cer tain that specially built light buses will appear on the streels to compete with the electric cars. They will have a far larger seating capacity than the toll ing car jitney. Such vehicles, though, will require a heavy capital outlay. This type of conveyance will be far 'ess popular than the jitney because it will of necessity be slower and give a less frequent service. And it is the frequent service of the jiincys that has made them popular. The fate of an attempt to operate r.iotorbusc's with 1 large seating capacity in competition with electric urban ..:d Mifj-i'r!:i!i lines is foreshadowed ,y the career of a concern which operand one hun dred and forty of these vehicles in Los Angeles and San Francisco. U went into the hands of a receiver six months after it started. Along the Pacific Coast where cli matic conditions make all-thc-year op eration feasible mortor transportation has come to stay. Both in and out side the cities it will continue to be a boon to the traveling public. But the present-day jitney craze will be short lived unless the touring-car owners raise the fare to a level that will give them an adequate income.
